Paradox data removed from SteamSpy by request

What could it mean for the future of accessible Steam data?

Paradox Interactive has requested that data for all of its games be removed from Steam Spy, a site that aggregates publicly accessible data on Steam Games to produce estimated ownership figures, average players and similar stats.

Steam Spy has complied with the request, making Paradox the first big publisher to have its games removed from the site. Explaining the move, Paradox's Shams Jorjani cites concerns about Steam Spy's accuracy.
